4. PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Contract 4293 / GC20107100, EPIC for Utilization of Produced Water from Storage Tanks at
Degassing Stations for PWI at Dukhan (GC20107100) is awarded to AL BALAGH (ALB).
AL BALAGH will carry out the detailed design, engineering, procurement, installation,
construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, performance testing, and start-up of the
facility.
5. PROJECT SCOPE
The objective of this project is to install a produced water collection system including
Produced Water Collection Tank (PWCT), PWCT pump and associated pipework to eliminate
the disposal of the produced water from storage tanks at KMDS, FMDS and JDS into the
aquifer. Water collected in the PWCT shall be transferred to the new PWST inlet.
At present produced water from the crude oil storage tanks at KMDS, FMDS and JDS is
dumped into wells connected to Umm-Er-Radhuma aquifer. QP intends to recover produce
water from these COST to avoid dumping into the wells thus protecting ground water
environment. Recovered produced water from COST will be collected in an underground tank,
then sent to new Produced Water Secondary Treatment (PWST) unit and proposed to be
utilized as injection water thereafter.
This CONTRACT includes demolition of existing piping, installation of new pipe work.

allow full coverage of the project and shall be loud enough to be distinguishable above
construction noise.
The siren/Horn is activated to alert personnel of fire or other site related emergencies and
consists of tones to be determined prior to the project mobilizing. Upon hearing the siren, all
personnel will go directly to their assembly point and remain there until the “All clear” is
sounded or wardens or members of the ERT instruct employees otherwise.
Sub-Contractors must verify that their employees are aware of the correct procedures to be
followed in the event of an emergency evacuation situation.
Employees will be informed of the requirements below at their HSE orientation and by
bulletins and toolbox meetings.
The “All Clear” signal is relayed to site personnel by way of an “All Clear” verbal instruction.
On hearing the “All Clear” all site personnel will be notified that it is safe to return to their
place of work.
Note: Personnel who have been working under a Permit to Work, e.g., hot work, confined
space, excavation permit, etc., may not return to work until the Work Permit has been
revalidated by the Permit Authority.
15. DEBRIEF
A debrief meeting will take place as soon as practicable after an exercise or an incident has
been brought under control. The Emergency Response Coordinator will chair this meeting.
Personnel involved in the emergency shall attend, or at least be provided with comprehensive
feedback on the details of the emergency and all relevant outcomes. The debriefing will detail
the emergency step-by-step so that it can be documented as accurately as possible. The
debriefing will also identify lessons learned (if any) and the need for procedure modification
or training requirements. During emergency exercises, video and photographs shall be taken
to assist with feedback and reporting, upon prior approval from QP/Dukhan.
All personnel will receive training in relevant aspects of this Plan through site orientation and
training and via pre-start and/or toolbox talks from time to time, as required. Information on
emergency response and/or evacuation will be provided approximately once per month
through one of the following: Toolbox Talk; HSE Bulletin; or an emergency exercise & site
induction. Supervisors and above will receive additional training through the Supervisors HSE
Orientation. Personnel, designated to fulfil an emergency role (e.g., ERT) will be trained in the
duties required of the role by one of QP approved training providers or by ALB Project HSE
Team. In addition, a training program will be developed to provide ongoing emergency
response training for ERT members.
The Project’s emergency response system will change as the Project grows and risks and
resources change. Where changes are introduced, revised processes and procedures shall be
communicated at toolbox meetings and training sessions.
